Milonga "La Ideal", October Edition

Opal is October's stone. Like tango, and the month itself, full of changing and fiery colours. TANGO WARWICK invites you to enjoy and enhance the October edition of its monthly milonga. We will be at home in Warwick SPACE. It is a large room with a good floor, in a space reminiscent of Buenos Aires' Sunderland Club (some say), and with great acoustics. We are very happy to have John Tan from Manchester as DJ. Well known and sought after in the European Tango Marathon scene, his sets are dynamic featuring music from the early 30s to the late 70s. Hie is energetic and likes to wow dancers with tango pearls. There will be some nibbles, soft drinks, fine cordials and wine for early arrivers, but BYOB if you wish. We encourage good tango, nice ronda and cabeceo! It will be the friendly, joyful, and lively milonga tango dancers have come to love. Above all there will be a warm welcome for visitors, regulars, and once regulars, alike. Quoting a distinguished tanguero "a lovely milonga with a barrio feel, very good and friendly social dancers and a fluid ronda." TIME: Friday October 7th, 8pm-midnight. PLACE: Warwick SPACE, 71 Coten End, Warwick CV34 4NU. COST(Cash at door) : £12 (£8 for students with student card). In cash. Prebooking not required. For covid cautions see below. WARWICK SPACE is on the north side of the main road north of the river between Leamington and Warwick; next to the Black Pug pub, aka Millwright Arms, and almost opposite a Sainsbury local. It is a short walk from Warwick Railway Station, and not far from M40 and A46. There are several hotels & B&B's nearby in this tourist area. The Castle Limes Hotel is a few minutes away. You can now even stay in Warwick Castle grounds. PARKING is mostly on road, especially towards Warwick on the main road or Smith Street (one way, going East), on back streets (not very easy), or towards Warwick station. The St Nicholas Park car park is about 10 minutes walk away but you probably could do with a torch on the way back. COVID PRECAUTIONS If you have had a reasonable possibility of being infected, or if you have any likely symptoms, please do take a test as near to the start time as possible, or do not come. Infections can cause disruption to travel plans and to vital work, as well as the possibility of long term effects, and stress to the NHS. COVER PIC: Opal
